Pradhan Cadabam is a seasoned software leader and founder with 11 years of experience building distributed systems and AI-first developer tools. As Co-Founder of Neeva AI and former Technical Lead at LinkedIn, he designs scalable platforms that automate complex workflows—most recently bringing LLMs into browser automation to solve a $60B testing bottleneck. He has a strong track record migrating large-scale systems to the cloud, leading cross-functional teams, and shipping resilient data infrastructure such as contributions to LinkedIn’s Gobblin data ingestion framework. Earlier work as a founding engineer on Amazon WorkDocs demonstrates his product-building chops and includes a patent for cross-device annotation. Based in Bengaluru with an MS in Computer Science from the University of Florida, he blends deep backend engineering with practical AI productization and a penchant for mentoring engineering teams. An interesting detail: his Gobblin contributions improved observability by adding Hadoop cluster and Azkaban flow IDs to metrics, helping trace job performance at scale.
